it turns out our sweet sparrow tricked us with her laid back infant demeanor! we called her sleepy sparrow for the first 4 months of her life, because she always seemed to be sleeping. & then we called her smiley sparrow for the next 8 months because she always seemed to be smiling wide. & now we've taken to calling her our spirited sparrow because she is a determined & defiant little lady.

some memories of our sparrow at the one year mark.

gets around by bum-scooting, never crawling

first word "jhat" from "chin-jhat" [khmer for "gecko"]

most happy when being held by mama or yay-yay [ming kohm]

sleeping through the night [...finally!]

loves bananas, oatmeal & noodles

makes the owl "whoo" face a lot

only one tooth

loves to grab mama's glasses whenever she has the chance

we often wake up to find her standing up quietly looking out the window by our bed & she loves to look over our balcony onto the street below to watch cambodian life go by

About Us

About Me

We live in all we seek. The hidden shows up in too-plain sight.. It lives captive on the face of the obvious - the people, events, & things of the day...What a hideout: Holiness lies spread and borne over the surface of time & stuff like color.
-Annie Dillard, For The Time Being
